Hello everyone, I know this isn't directly pond related but I thought this community might be able to help me with a question/issue I have regarding a small lift pump.
I have a very bad drainage problem in my yard because my neighbor behind me is roughly 3 feet higher than my yard. He's planted rye grass and water is literally seeping to the surface of my yard. I want to install a "tile line" for drainage and connect it to the drain that runs out to street in front of my home.
The problem is that I will need to lift the water roughly 1 foot to reach the existing drain line from my back to front yard. Could this problem be solved with a low volume solar lift pump with an automatic on/off for when the lines are dry?
Again, I know this isn't pond related but I would greatly appreciate any advice that people could give me since I know very little about landscaping and small volume pumps (but I'm a farmer so I'm capable of DIY and understand large scale concepts.)
